Shinobi (Game Gear)

and one early Mega Drive game I can't remember the title.....

He also did few PC games......

I have one Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack which I bought directly from his company website (Ancient) years ago.

I can swear that I saw in a magazine that he is credited for the music in Shenmue. I will try and find that mag but I checked the manual from my import Shenmue but there are no credit's listed. I remember it only because I was surprised when I saw it. Yu has a certain style and Shenmue sounds different from his previous work.

I've heard that also.
Well, you never know.

Like Yuzo did Y's Books 1&2 for PC Engine/TG-16, we can't even find his name in the end credit.....(It's been a long long time when I play Y's Books, maybe it's there but I didn't see it.....)

Yuzo did the original Ys I & II so he's not credited in the PCE version. Falcom has just taken his tracks and rearranged them too many times. He also was one of the music composers in the Shenmue project behind B-univ.

The earlier Mega Drive game you're referring to is Slap Fight MD.

Yuzo owned. Some of his game tuneage still regularly finds its way into my discman. The man was a genius, dammit!
